Absolutely the worst movie.
The first must-see film of the year.
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
The schizo plot is an interesting concept, but it's been done before and to much greater affect in 'Identity.'For Sale By Owner' plods along at the pace of the river that it's set against and Tom and Kris, pretty much, email in their performances.The male and female lead - whose names are forgettable - at least to this viewer are wooden and uninspired.I gave it six for location, but there's no tension and the film is repetitive (doors that slam and lock by themselves, shadowy movement behind the main characters, etc).This film won't enhance any careers.
To be honest, this was a weird movie. It didn't have all the "hollywood" added to it. I was very interested within the first 15 minutes which is highly unusual for me. It tells the story of a man that restores homes from Virginia. At the start you will think his is having a panic attack but you will see that he suffers from skitzophrenia. The movie plays into the role perfect & if you have ever met someone like that (I am), it's truly wonderful how they had the "mind set" perfect. It also has a lot about history in Virginia & one of the oldest mysteries surrounding the United States. I don't want to spoil it for you, but if you want to venture off into a movie with lots of twists & a decent story line, this is for you. You will have to pay attention or maybe watch it twice. The first time is like, WOW, then the second you can see more clearly what is going on. Im surprised this movie doesn't have many ratings or views. Probably because its not "Hollywoodified".
Confused and confusing horror tale about a restoration architect who goes to restore and old home in Virginia and runs across evidence of the Lost Colony of Roanoke. Strange things happen and people die maybe. I'm sure this makes sense in someone's mind but to be perfectly honest I doubt anyone outside of the filmmakers will have any idea what's going on. At the start the film creates a great sense of place and it begins to build some tension and then you begin to wait for something to happen. Actually you begin to wonder "did I just miss something". There is a point relatively early on when the film begins to feel like you've missed a reel and the whys and the hows have been taken away. Why is the house locked? Why are these characters doing anything? It makes no sense. And then the denouncement at the end comes and its like WTF? It's a HUGE "WTF?". I was left shaking my head. What is this film? Well it's a mess, but beyond that, I have no idea. I'm going to guess that the actors were given a good script and they filmed it, and then someone came in and re-shot stuff and re-cut it and turned a well acted, good looking film into a complete mess. I mean this had to work at some point because the performances and the other aspects of the film do not seem to have been a paycheck job. Rather they seem like this was a film that everyone cared about. I can't believe the film as it's on the screen now is any sort of film that anyone would care about on any level. 3 out of 10 because the script is such a mess it pulls everything down
a very well done and interesting journey with twists and turns. Great cast and an unbelievable ending. It makes you think and follow the story. Not a movie for short attention spans. Watch again to catch the clues. I would give it a 9 out of ten but i don't give 9 ,s . The locations are also really interesting. Give it a look. Skeet has a couple of great moments as well as Tom Bower as the sheriff. In the same vein as the sixth sense. Looks terrific great camera work the only thing maybe it is slow in parts but that is to weave the story deeper is my guess. Hope this helps it is nice to see something that attempts to be different and has a nice historical hook to it. Again definitely worth a look.
